1. What is oh-my-god.tv
Oh-my-god.tv invites you to film the image that you have of God. There are times when you can feel God, smell him, have the feeling that you could almost touch him. You don't have to believe in God to have this experience. Maybe you don't really know for yourself what it is but your world can be rocked by something that is bigger then yourself. It's those moments that we are looking for. How do you see 'God'? Where do you see God? When you're lying in your bed, when you're with a thousand others singing along a song at a concert, when you're having fun with your friends...? That’s the type of questions behind this initiative.
So get your camera, webcam or mobile phone and send in your films to www.oh-my-god.tv.
2. How can I upload a film?
See manual.
3. Which films can I upload?
You can upload any film that you made yourself but please be aware that anything racist, sexist, negativistic, discriminating, obscene, insulting, defamatory, vulgar, hateful, disrespectful etc....will not be published. What we're aiming for is a positive message with respect for each individual's personal opinion and religion.
You cannot send in material that is in violation of copyright laws. The films have to be made by the person who wishes to publish them.
The films have to be an expression of your thoughts about God and religion. This is not to the place to advertise your favorite football club, your favorite snack, drum computer, band etc.
We have the right, at all times, to deny films that violate any or all of the above.
